Your window decorations are missing; no titlebars or frames or min/max/close buttons that I can make out.
What you need to explain is how you got your Debian, whether it ever worked right, if you just upgraded from 11.4 to latest, if it's a VM, if it's a fresh installation, things like that. All you've done is show us something is wildly wrong.
Try doing inxi -Faz > somefile.txt and pasting somefile.txt here using code tags, so that we know something about your hardware and setup.
Debian version is 11, but upgrade was confused (in root I still read @debian -10 ).
Full booting is still impossible (no way to write in terminal); however if I log out to other user, Debian 11 is loaded and works regularly (only first user is disabled ? ):
Please edit post #3 to change the quote tags to code tags so as to preserve the original formatting and thus command output readability. Also at most only -GSCaz is needed from inxi for graphics issues. inxi -Faz is mostly noise.
If the screen is messed up for one user and good for the other user then it would indicate that something in the user configs in their home directory is causing the problem. It becomes an exercise in identifying and removing the problem config for that user.

Thanks, but .. if I log out to second user , how to modify first user configs ? (First user has troubles).
(On recovery mode I read following :
audit: type=1400 ..apparmor = "Denied" ..
If I log out (to second user),one warning message is : "low disk space on Filesystem root" )
warning message is : "low disk space on Filesystem root" )
This can cause all kinds of trouble. Fix it before doing anything else. The simplest cure for this in most cases is probably apt clean, which will remove downloaded updates from the cache. First run df -h / to see just how much freespace remains, then run it again after to see how much more results. If you have a persistent journal, it will consume a good deal of space if not configured to be limited to a date range and/or size range and/or file quantity range in /etc/systemd/journal.conf.

Apt clean reduced disk usage to 90 % (previous was 98 %)
Since problems for first user persist, should I now modify /home (not second user home) ?

A system that is that close to full should be modified to allow more space or have software/logs/etc. cleaned up to allow more space.
Running a file system at 90% or more on a consistent basis may result in fragmentation of files or other issues as well as potential inability to even boot & log in.
If you have free disk space I would recommend expanding the partition holding / . If no available space exists then remove unnecessary data/software to free up additional space in the existing file system/partition.
